Hotel Reservation Information

We reserved a block of rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott in Christiana DE. The cost is $74 / night + about 9% in taxes.
The Christiana Mall is right around the corner & all guest rooms feature high speed Internet access.
This page
gives you full details about the hotel, amenities, local attractions, & resturants.
You can reach the hotel by calling 302-456-3800 or the Marriott National Reservation Line at 800-321-2211.
You can also make reservations online at
Marriott.com
using group code JCwJCwA for a room with a King Size Bed, or group code JCwJCwB for a room with two Queen Size Beds.
You can also just call and give Group Code JCwJCwA or JCwJCwB or just say you would like a room in the "Jones-Cope Wedding Block."
Give them the nights you'd like the room for... your smoking preference... and if you want a king or a double queen room,
and then they'll take your credit card information and that should be it.

Reception Information
You are also invited to come and celebrate our union at a reception following the ceremony at Bellevue State Park.
The barbeque reception will be outdoors. Activities will include horseshoes, volleyball & Ultimate Frisbee (so bring your cleats, disc & a light & a dark).
The park charges a small per vehicle fee ($5). Carpooling is encouraged.
Pray for great weather & bring a change a clothes (cause Drew's not laying out in a tux, nor Tracey in a dress).
We're gonna be comfortable, so you should be too.
There are facilities at the park, or you can change at the church while we finish pictures.
Our guess... is ceremony will be an hour, pictures are 20-30 minutes,
20 minute drive, Reception will probably start close to 4:30pm... but that's
a guess. In any case... come prepared to have a great time!
Our initial thoughts are that this will go until dusk / dark... cause it's hard to do
an outdoor thing in the dark.... unless we did a campfire... and now that
you mention it, that would be cool... though I doubt the park will allow
it... so we'll probably jet as it gets dark... which I'm guessing
is 8:00-8:30ish... but I really have no idea... I have to find a calendar
that will tell me that kind of stuff... and we'll have to see how the
honeymoon travel plans play out... We just haven't looked yet.
